The Great Daffodil Appeal by Marie Curie

Daffodils are my favourite flower.

I love the beautiful yellow that brings joy and colour when the flowers bloom becoming in spring.

Being Welsh as the national flower for Wales is the daffodil they also evoke a sense of pride for my country.

They also remind me of the amazing charity Marie Curie which I support and champion. Marie Curie are a charity close to my heart as helped care for my late Mamgu (grandmother) when she was fighting breast cancer during her last few months of life.

Tweeting bra Breast Cancer campaign - sponsored video.

Since losing my grandmother to breast cancer over 10 years ago breast cancer is an issue that is close to my heart.  Having lost a loved one to breast cancer I support campaigns that raise awareness of breast cancer and charities that raise money for the cause.

As I like to support breast cancer campaigns I wanted to share with you about Nestle Fitness’ latest video campaign where they are raising awareness for breast cancer and highlighting the importance of monthly breast self-check-ups.

Realising that due to busy lives some women simply forget to regularly check their breasts Nestle Fitness are aiming to remind women about the importance of regular breast self-check-ups with their innovative breast cancer campaign.

Recognising that in spite of hectic lives many women still find the time to check social media, Nestle Fitness have come up with a ground-breaking way to raise awareness for breast cancer and remind women about the significance of the monthly self-exam on the social media platform twitter with the unique Tweeting Bra.

#dosomethingyummy Family

I had a lovely childhood, growing up with my mum and younger sister in the countryside in beautiful south west Wales.  Our father left when I was young and I don’t remember him.  For personal reasons I never saw him and sadly he died when I was 10.  All I knew was growing up in a fatherless family, it was how it was for me and my mum gave me the best childhood I could ever dream of having.

90 Words of Support for Breakthrough Breast Cancer

When I learnt that Kate on Thin Ice was looking for 90 kind bloggers to write about an important woman in their life in 90 words to make a difference and help Breakthrough Breast Cancer I just had to join in and show my support.  The 90 words can be about any woman that matters to you – a grandmother, a mum, a daughter, a friend, a woman who means something to you.

Did you know that around 1000 women die from breast cancer every month?  One in eight women will develop breast cancer at sometime in their lifetime.   It is important to note that men also get breast cancer.  The good news is that more people are surviving breast cancer due to greater awareness, improved treatments and better screening.
